Xiangpao, in Shaoxing dialect, refers to an ingredient for pounding tea, which is generally made of tea, peanuts, glutinous rice, shrimp skin and other ingredients. With rich aroma and delicious taste, it is a popular famous dish in Shaoxing. According to legend, the origin of fragrant bubbles can be traced back to Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. With its unique aroma and taste, it soon became the court food of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In Shaoxing, Hunan cannon has almost become a local cultural symbol. Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, many local people will set up large and small tea tables in the countryside, and invite relatives and friends to taste fragrant bubbles at home, reminisce about the past and talk about the land; In weddings, wedding banquets and other important occasions, fragrant bubbles have become an indispensable dish, representing deep blessings and emotions.

Although Xiangpao has become a distinctive symbol and cultural heritage of Shaoxing, its very special taste and production method have also discouraged many people. If you want to taste authentic Shaoxing fragrant bubbles, you'd better find a local time-honored restaurant or coffee table. At the same time, it is also important to keep food safe and hygienic, and avoid eating unclean food that may cause harm to the body.
